Can you please open a store somewhere in the Buffalo NY or Rochester area. I am very desperate.

I live in Niagara Falls NY and I would like to see a Micro Center store open up somewhere in the region. The nearest store is over 4 hours away in Columbus Ohio which just isn't do-able for someone who wants to buy a new PC.

There are almost no electronics stores in my area that actually have things in stock and provide service.

We have a ton of college students in this region that could use a store.

I would be willing to settle for a store anywhere in the WNY region including Rochester, Buffalo, Brockport or anywhere within 2 hours of Niagara Falls so I can daytrip there. I would even be willing to settle for a store south of here in towns like Jamestown and Erie, PA though I think the Rochester or Buffalo regions would work best. Brockport is a huge college town which would bring a ton of business and is near Rochester.

The area from Buffalo to Rochester has a huge nerd and Anime culture scene and these people would love to have a Microcenter nearby. We have a ton of anime conventions and events and everyone talks about PC building at them.

The stores in my area are terrible and either have no inventory or are insanely priced vs online stores so I am stuck with ordering stuff online.

I hate to beg but I have no good options for buying a PC and again I think there are a lot of problems with shipping damage from PC's because the GPU's are very heavy these days and I don't want to deal with this. I've heard too many horror stories. It would be nice to be able to drive to a store to buy a PC, one that actually specializes in PC building and sells PC's that actually work, which Microcenter does.

No plans at the moment, however, West New York is highly requested. Who's to say what the future may hold? I can pass this along to the real estate team for you as well!

Thank you please pass this onto the team. There are a lot of colleges here that would bring a lot of customers. People would be willing to drive from other areas to get to the store too.

Buffalo NY is in need of a Micro Center, Best Buy here carries nothing in stock and all the PC stores here closed. Pretty sad seeing at one time we have CompUSA, Computer City, Circuit City and BestBuy

My brother lives in Rochester and he's always asking me for updates on if a store is coming so I'd also be very happy with one in the area!

There's always room for growth! We'll make sure our real estate team knows we're needed in this area! Perhaps one day it will happen!

Just seeing this post and I would like to voice support for it. As a PC enthusiast / gamer / engineer, it would be really awesome to have one in the Buffalo area. There isn't much to choose from for electronics and Best Buy doesn't cut it. Thanks for your responses.

Yes! Western New York lacks major tech stores. there is best buy but they never stock anything. not to mention the University of buffalo itself, not to mention being able to just go into a store and buy parts and not ordering them off the internet, I would definitely shop there!

I wholeheartedly agree. There is nothing remotely close to Micro Center in Western New York. Currently I would have to drive over 3 hours to Ohio for the closest one. Please open one in Western New York!

As a fellow buffalonian, I endorse this. I posted my case on opening a Buffalo location on here as well. Fingers crossed!

Buffalo once had stores like CompUSA, Computer City, Circuit City, and other big-box retailers. Now, the only one left is Best Buy! Adding a Micro Center to the area would be a fantastic addition.
